The Divine Liturgy Of Our Father Among the Saints

The Divine Liturgy Of Our Father mong the Saints John Chrysostom For Sunday Worship In Modern English and Greek Plagal Fourth Tone and Plagal First Tone

Our Orthodox hymnology is a rich treasure which has yet to be fully discovered by the Faithful. Our hymnology, which teaches our minds and uplifts our hearts, should be studied by all of us who profess the Orthodox faith. + Father John C. Poulos

The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom In English and Greek by N. and S. Takis Let the people praise You, O God; Let all the people praise You. Psalm 67:3 Scriptural hymn texts in English are from the New King James Version of the Holy Bible. Other hymn texts were translated by N. Takis or adapted by N. or S. Takis from the translations of Fr. George Papadeas, Fr. Nomikos Vaporis, and other sources. The English parts of the Divine Liturgy which are intoned by the priest or deacon are from the translation of Fr. Nomikos Vaporis, published by the Holy Cross Orthodox Press. Melodic material comes from traditional, original, and other various sources and has been adapted for use by church choirs and congregations. n effort was made to preserve melodies that are familiar to merican Greek Orthodox Church choirs, with an effort to keep the melodies within the formulaic traditions of Byzantine music.

DEDICTION This book is dedicated to the priests and hierarchs whom I, the author, have had the honor to serve, especially Fr. John Poulos, of blessed memory, who tapped me to be his chanter; His Grace Bishop Timothy of Detroit, of blessed memory, who asked me to translate Byzantine chant hymns into English; and Fr. Constantine Christo, who wanted well done English language music in the choir. Many thanks to Fr. Michael Varlamos for requesting this book. bout This Book This book, along with its Menaion, Triodion, and Pentecostarion hymnal companions (available for free at www.newbyz.org), represents a complete resource for Sunday worship in Greek Orthodox churches that employ both Greek and English in their services. Within its covers, this book contains the complete Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom with music in staff notation, primarily in Plagal Fourth Tone. There is also music for a First and Plagal First Tone Divine Liturgy, which can be used alternatively. The book also contains the eight Resurrectional apolytikia, the kontakion for normal Sundays, four Cherubic hymns, the megalynarion for the liturgy of St. Basil, hymns for the hierarchical liturgy, and the memorial and artoklasia services. The authors had several goals in mind in creating these settings of the Divine Liturgy, which include the following points: To create music for lay choirs that is more in line with the traditional musical rubrics of the Greek Orthodox Church, but easier for Westerntrained musicians to perform. To create accurate, poetic, understandable, and flowing English versions of the hymns that worthily compare with the Greeklanguage hymns written by the ancient hymnographers. To create music that enhances the words of Orthodox liturgical texts as an aid in prayer, both in Greek and English. To create a volume that would make bilingual GreekEnglish liturgies easy to perform, thus allowing full congregational worship. To create liturgical music that could be used by ensembles of all sizes, all ages of the singers, and all voice combinations. To create liturgical music that could be performed easily without organ accompaniment in all locations and settings, taking pitches from the chanting of the priest or deacon or from a pitch pipe. To educate lay choirs in the history of the Divine Liturgy and in the practices of appointed chanters, since lay choirs take the role of appointed chanters whenever they perform a service. To make it easy to adapt each Divine Liturgy to the date and occasion upon which it is performed with companion hymnals that contain all of the substitutions that are encountered from Sunday to Sunday. These liturgical settings are intended to offer to our lay choirs another resource with which they may serve their clergy and congregations. We believe the material offered on www.newbyz.org can be useful to Orthodox Christian parishes and to the Church musicians that donate their time and talents to them. 2 The Publishers

BOUT ORTHODOX HYMNOLOGY ND THE DIVINE LITURGY Orthodox hymnology has its earliest roots in the Jewish synagogue. The first Christians were practicing Jews with an established tradition of worship. The earliest Christian songs were most certainly from the Hebrew scriptures. Psalms and canticles from the Old Testament still form the basis of many Orthodox liturgical hymns. In the early Church, these songs were chanted by the congregation, which was often led by a solo cantor. The Church developed the practice of inserting nonscriptural refrains (tropes) in between verses of scripture, including verses from the New Testament. These troparia came in many forms, and were used to make commentary and reinforcement of the meaning of the texts of the verses. The troparia were the main contribution of Christian poets and theologians, many of whom have become saints of the Church. Later, other hymn forms which have a presence in the Divine Liturgy were established, such as the kontakion, the processional hymns, the canon, and the megalynaria. The Liturgy evolved over time, but it has remained essentially consistent from the time of St. Basil and St. John Chrysostom, who edited the text as it is used today. The Octoechos: The Orthodox System of Music It is generally accepted that harmonized music, as practiced today, was unknown to the ancients. It is certain that the original hymns of the Church were chanted monophonically. ncient music possessed a number of musical modes, which consisted of various scales, tunings, and melodic formulas. The different modes varied in their ethical character. St. John of Damascus is traditionally credited with codifying, in the Eighth Century, a system of eight modes, the Octoechos, for use by the Church on a weekly rotating basis. These consisted of four authentic modes and their Plagal variations. These modes have come to be referred to also as tones, from the Greek word, echos, meaning an aural tone. The First Tone and its Plagal version are what modern musicians would consider minor in character. The Second Tone is pitched on a central note and are declamatory in style. The Plagal Second Tone often employs the distinctive chromatic scale, with its unusual intervals. The Third Tone and its Plagal form have the feel of music in a major scale, as does the Plagal form of the Fourth Tone. The Fourth Tone itself, is neither major nor minor, but has a tonal center not normally used in modern music. These different modes were selected because they were considered to contain qualities which effectively conveyed and enhanced the texts. Later, variations of these basic modes were added to the system for several reasons. Over time, these modes have taken on a twopart character which adds a second voice (often called the ison) that drones on the tonal center of the mode against the monophonic melody. Polyphonic harmonized music is a late addition to the Divine Liturgy. lthough it first appeared in other Orthodox jurisdictions as early as the 16th Century, it did not make its entrance into the Greek Church until the 19th Century. Today, it is widely used in merica and in Eastern European Orthodox churches. Harmonization tends to change the tonal and emotional qualities of the original eight modes and their variants. The Divine Liturgy The Divine Liturgy is the central worship service of the Orthodox Church. It accompanies the sacrament of Holy Communion. It is always practiced on Sunday mornings, the day which commemorates the Resurrection of Christ, and on some other calendar days of the Church. The practice of Communion was instituted by Christ himself and perpetuated by his disciples. Rubrics and rituals became established to help sanctify the faithful that they might be wellprepared to receive the sacrament worthily, and this remains today as the main function of the Liturgy. The Divine Liturgy differs in structure from the Vespers (evening) and Orthros (morning) services that precede it. Whereas Vespers and Orthros are a part of the daily cycle of hourly services all Orthodox Christians may observe, the Liturgy is a sacramental service that requires the presence of an ordained minister of the Church. It takes the form of a chanted dialogue with roles given to the bishop (if present), the priest, the deacon (if present), and the people. In the earliest Christian services, all of the people in the congregation actively participated in chanting with the assistance of lead musicians. The 15th canon of Council of Laodicea limits chanting to appointed singers who read from a book, and in some places, this was interpreted to mean congregations should never chant aloud. However, today there is general agreement that congregations should actively participate in the music of the Divine Liturgy, especially in the responses and more musically simple hymns. It is generally agreed that the Divine Liturgy was originally a shorter service than it is today, and that, over time, various segments were added to it. It can be divided into two parts. The first part is the liturgy of the catechumens, which was an educational and preparatory exercise for believers and potential believers catechumens who were learning the faith. In this part of the liturgy, there are litanies, psalms, daily commemorations, processions, scripture readings, and a homily. In the second part, the liturgy of the faithful, the catechumens are excused, and the faithful reaffirm their Creed. The holy offering of bread and wine is changed by the Holy Spirit into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The Theotokos, Mary, the mother of Our Lord, is magnified (honored), more prayers and petitions are given, and the faithful then reverently receive the sacrament. This is followed by a dismissal. 3

The Litanies and ntiphons The last part of the Orthros service is the Great Doxology. The Liturgy begins immediately afterwards with the Great Litany, a list of prayers offered to God by the priest or deacon, each of which are punctuated by a response of the people, Lord, have mercy. The litany is followed by a series of Psalm readings, the socalled Typica, the first two of which have been interspersed with the troparia, Through the intercessions (Tes Presvies) and O Son of God, save us (Soson Imas). They are referred to as antiphons because they originally were chanted antiphonally by two groups of chanters. In between the second and third antiphons is inserted the Hymn of Justinian, Only Begotten Son (O Monoghenisios). The troparia of the third antiphon are the daily apolytikia. There are other litanies and petitions throughout the Liturgy. The polytikia and Kontakion s the hourly services of the Church became established, such as Vespers and Orthros, and as the Church calendar developed, many troparia were written to comment upon or celebrate the various saints and feast days. The last such troparion of the Vespers service is referred to as the apolytikion, or dismissal hymn, because it occurs just before the dismissal of the service. The apolytikia of the day are reprised in the Orthros service and in the Divine Liturgy, including the troparion of the name of the local parish where the Liturgy is being celebrated. This is followed by the kontakion of the day, which originally was a long poem, but only its prelude is used today. If there is no kontakion written for a particular feast, the default kontakion is to the Theotokos. The Processional Hymns The hymns we have been speaking of up to this point the litany responses, troparia, kontakia, etc. are the oldest hymns of the Liturgy, and thus, are chanted in the oldest musical style, that is, mostly with one note per syllable. They are truly in the category of chant (which is, by definition, musicallyenhanced speech), as opposed to song, because the music was not supposed to take precedence over the words. In the Church s system, the music for these hymns is strictly regulated, with each being assigned a specific model melody and mode, which may be used by other hymns as well. However, through the course of history, situations arose within the services of the Church where the music took on greater importance in order to elongate timing of the hymns for various reasons. Newer, longer, more melodic modes were added to each tonal family of the Octoechos for these styles of hymns. These hymns do not follow set melodies, but mostly fall into the category of original, although they do follow rules established for these newer modes. Processionals were a later addition to the Divine Liturgy and fall into the category of these longer hymns. The Trisagion hymn and the Cherubic hymn make up these processions, and are vestiges of a time when the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Gifts were stored in a building outside of the church itself and were fetched with great pomp and ceremony as isodika (entrances). The style of music of these two hymns is referred to as papadic, because the priest has many tasks to perform while they are being chanted. Papadic hymns are musically complex and are the most difficult ones to perform by the assigned chanters and require the greatest amount of musical artistry. The Holy Offering, Consecration, and Megalynarion The central part of the Divine Liturgy is the naphora, where the Holy Gifts are offered to the Lord, consecrated, and changed into the Body and Blood of the Savior. The hymns of this section revert to the category of responses, except for the Victory Hymn, in which the chanters sing the angelic Holy, Holy, Holy. In fact, research has suggested that the socalled consecration hymn, With Hymns We Praise You, (Si Imnumen), is a completion of the priest s previous petition, and was originally chanted simply on a single pitch. Since then, it has become elongated. The megalynarion, which follows the consecration, is a hymn that magnifies the Virgin Mary. Being a later addition, it is a composed hymn that does not have a designated melodic model. Its origin depends upon which Divine Liturgy is being chanted on a particular day. If it is the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Truly It is Right (xion Estin) is the megalynarion. This hymn s origin was in a revelation to a monk on Mt. thos. In the Liturgy of St. Basil, the megalynarion is In You Rejoices (Epi Si Cheri), which comes from a hymn in the Plagal Fourth Tone Orthros service. On major feast days, the megalynarion is from the ninth ode katavasia of the Orthros kanon of the feast. The Communion Hymn and Dismissal The Communion hymn, chanted during the preparation and distribution of the sacrament, is often papadic. However, since it is from a Biblical psalm or other scripture, it is sometimes chanted as an antiphon in the form a troparion, interspersed with verses from the scriptural passage from where the hymn s text originates. The Divine Liturgy then ends with a short dismissal service of thanksgiving, blessings, and veneration of the saints and celebrations of the day. 4

Each of these tones is a family of musical modes that consist of a main note or tonal center and a particular scale of notes which are used to create specific melodic patterns for each mode. Each tone family (echos) has its own musical character, which allows a variety of musical expression to be applied to the thousands of hymn texts of the Orthodox Church. lthough technically, modern major and minor scales do not exist in Byzantine music, the fact remains that Byzantine music will be heard by modern people as having a major or minor tonality. The basic mode of the Divine Liturgy music in this book from page 7 through page 83 is the Plagal Fourth Tone, which is heard in the West as a major tonality. lso offered in this book is a minor tonality Divine Liturgy predominantly in the Plagal First Tone. To perform a complete minor liturgy setting, begin on page 10 and continue through to page 35, just before the Trisagion hymn. From there, go to page 92 and continue through to page 117. From there, return to page 78 to complete the liturgy. It should be noted that the first two antiphons, the hymn of Justinian, the Trisagion, and the dismissal are traditionally in Second Tone, although there are times when the Trisagion is set in First Tone. good suggestion is to perform the major Plagal Fourth Tone liturgy on most weeks and perform the minor liturgy on First Tone and Plagal First Tone weeks. (See the note at the bottom of page 56 for suggestions on what days to sing each of the four Cherubic hymns in this book.) Some parishes like to begin and end the Divine Liturgy in a major tonality and use a minor tonality from the Cherubic hymn to the end of the naphora, the Consecration hymn. This could be accomplished easily using this book. In fact, it is easy to jump to the minor liturgy at any point in the service and return to the major liturgy at any time as well. The music in this book is intended to be chanted unaccompanied, especially the short responses to the priest, upon whose pitch the pitch of the responses should be based. If organ accompaniment is to be used at all, it should be only in the longer hymns, such as the Cherubic hymn. The music does not include dynamic or other performance markings. Because of the nature of chant as enhanced speech, these variances in performance are left up to the lead chanter or choir director. Likewise, the ornaments, accents, special tunings and accidentals have also been omitted, but they may be added based upon the knowledge and skill level of those who chant this music. Inserting the special festal and hierarchical hymns of the week is also easy to do in this book. ll of the Resurrectional apolytikia are provided, as are the Trisagion hymn substitutions. The megalynarion of the St. Basil Divine Liturgy is also provided. There are informative notes throughout the book indicating the page on which to continue after these hymns. It is up to the lead chanter or choir director to prepare beforehand the special second antiphons, apolytikia, kontakia, megalynaria, and Communion hymns, which may be needed on any particular feast, and insert them into the proper place in the liturgy. Detailed instructions are provided throughout this book. ll of these hymns are available in the companion Menaion, Triodion and Pentecostarion hymnals, or they may be downloaded individually at www.newbyz.org. The memorial and artoklasia services are also provided in this book on pp. 8490. 6
